What happened to the taunting rule?

After Wilson's error & the resulting goal, there was much taunting. By none other than Corey Durdin, who decided to be a douche

Tassie has pick 1, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13.

5,7,11, 13 must be traded and most likely for players (using marketing dollars). They could go to anyone

Therefore in the Draft Tassie use 1, and 3.

Assume bottom to top teams on ladder are as follows:

pick 1....19th Tassie
pick 1....18th Effendopes match Bewick and lose their 2nd No 1 for Merret
pick 2.....Tassie
pick 3....17th Richmond
pick 4....Tassie
pick 5....16th WCE
pick 6 ...whoever trades with tassie
pick 7 ....15th Port
pick 8 ....whoever Trades with Tassie
pick 9....14th Collingwood
pick 10...whoever trades with Tassie
pick 11....13th StKilda
pick 12 ....whoever trades with Tassie
pick 13 ....12th Bulldogs unless they trade for butters, then its port
pick 14.....11th Adelaide
pick 15 ....10th NM

I want 2 first rounders from this years draft, not next year. We'll lose our compo pick anyway in almost every possible scenario.

Posted this in Vossy thrread when I was thinking about our game v Port.

One thing obvious to me was Pitto played longer and broke even with Sweet. I'd say he beat Sweet with 10 v 7 HO to advantage. Harry has able to keep the pressure on in the ruck, but we didnt have anyone in the forward line to mark the ball when harry wasn't there. I don't know why we kept on bombing it forward in that 3rd. Is that Fraser's fault? A personnel thing? Players' fatiguing and losing composure? Forward not providing leads to kick to? Says to me its a bit of everything.

IMO, the best thing about the win was our dare (to run in 2's and 3's), our close checking of opponents and pressure we were able to exert that, over 4 quarters (maybe because we weren't spent chasing tails because we were minding space instead of players) and most importantly, we did it with 11 players not available (see impact that has on our VFL team), 6 missing from our Best 23. 7 if you count Carroll.

It was a great to win on their dung.

Flynn Young was perfectly entitled to take that shot by the way. Only criticism is that he should have nailed it.

Disagree.........when you have a player all by himself in the goal square, you hit them up lace out, every time.
Because if you take the shot, you had better be 100% sure you are going to hit it, especially with the space he had around him.
Team first, always.
He got greedy.
Especially when this has been the issue for us for so long.

I was pumped to have him back in the side this week, but he was very underwhelming.

Agree....except the last line.

Its a team game.
Don't take risks when you dont have to
Footy 101.
Selfish.
If you miss, you suffer the consequences. He knows that too.

I just can't see him as an AFL footballer. He's 23yo and 185cm. He's a lead up FP with no right leg and no tricks.

I get why we have to have a look at all these guys out of contract. I dont think he's a keeper. We will see.

It was a great to win on their dung.

He did, Pitto played 77% game time compared to 68% the week before.

Agree the bombing was a bit of everything, I doubt Fraser like Voss initiated it though.
The lack of reward for effort in the 3rd was us slipping back into our groove, we were just lucky they were not a top of the ladder team that could punish us.

For me the run has come from Florent hitting his straps over the last 3-4 weeks, Newman getting back to how he plays and the addition of Wilson's speed to help push out of D50. You also have to take into account the injuries of our 2 wings and the need to change the way we play from the HB line to support fill in players like Cerra on the wing and did I see Franky starting on wing a few times?
Another thing to note is that without Weitering and having a more mobile defence that changed the way we moved the ball out of D50 also.
It gave those players the room to run harder and change the angles more.
Weitering is a good one on one defender, but he is slow and the game is changing, including the need for a more mobile defence that can close down these athletic forwards. Dean and HOF are the way forward, they get to the contest, they tackle hard and they are willing to be less predictable coming out of defence.

I haven't watched him enough in the VFL this year so I can't really speak of his form.
But I thought what he did at the back of last year was encouraging.
He didn't really wow me on the weekend and I'd rather us put more time into Ison and Byrne, they both have something.
But I also hope we give him a couple of games to show something, so we can either give him a tick or put a line through him by seasons end.

Yeah he did show a competitive spirit last year against the highly fancied Effendopes 15th on the ladder :roll: and the irrepressible Port who were 13th on the ladder.

This year we have been crap and were crying out for replacements. Flynn kicked a couple goals where our smalls were missing easy shots. I thought his leading was good, and his set shots good, but pushed off the ball too easily at VFL level, and came to the conclusion he's overrated. Have you seen him on his right foot? Hasnt got enough tricks and he's 24yo. I'd put games into 19yo Byrne before Young, but no harm giving him sale games to have a good look before he's delisted/ retained.

Hopefully Williams comes in to replace Young against Cats this Friday night. Plenty of time for Young to return when we play Effendopes, Tiggers or Eagles.

Ison, Byrne Moir Wilson and after yesterday I'd add Ben Camporeale and Charleson as part of the future and should get more games. We know Smith, Cowan, Dean, OFarrell, Hollands, Lord can hold their own in the seniors; they aren't experiments. 24yo Young? Pass for me. Ditto Elijah Boyd and Fog.

Small summary of some interesting 2026 stats;

2026 handball average 159, this game 182
2026 average clearances 33, this game 27 and stoppage clearances 21 to 16 (also lost both to Port - interesting as Cripps dominated)
2026 contested possessions 132, this game 114 and uncontested 230 to 271.
2026 inside 50 efficiency 51%, this game 64%

Seems the game change is occurring and the boys are doing well with the changes.


Some shouldn’t ignore…… :thumbsup:

The only stat you've shared that has weight is the efficiency inside 50 stat.
And we all seen how that went after half time.

Yeh what’s with Durdin being an ar^% all of a sudden.

I mean he wanted to be traded to Port, and we did it for him.

No need for that hostility i would have thought.

Wilson just took it. Should have smashed him into the fence i would have thought.

No idea what they say but obviously you do and don’t agree. What irony. :lol:

Now - I’m pretty sure I said don’t reply to me, as I don’t want to deal with Vossy’s love child, so please stop and let me enjoy the positive changes occurring at my club and hopefully the success it brings. :thumbsup:

100%

If you’re picked in the forward group, you take that shot or pack your bags.

Only opponents within cooee were closer to the bloke he supposedly torched.

Durdin plays for someone else.

Wilson’s reaction was the problem. Couldn’t even muster a ‘scoreboard cauliflower’.
Just pulled up the cuck chair.
